Letter, 1866 Feb. 8, Richmond, to Moncure Robinson, Philadelphia.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/176881994

A letter introducing a French artist, L.M.D. Guillaume who has been living and successfully working in Richmond painting portraits, works that "have never been excelled & rarely equalled" by artists in Virginia. Strongly sympathetic to the Southern cause, he has painted portraits of "the most distinguished Southern leaders" Davis, Lee, Beauregard, Jackson, and Mosby, and is seeking to find patrons in Philadelphia and other cities in the North.
